CHIANTI Version 7 released

We would like to announce the release of version 7.0 of the CHIANTI database for astrophysical spectroscopy. With Version 7.0, CHIANTI now includes data for several new ions as well as significant updates to many ions, including several key Fe species routinely observed by Hinode/EIS and SDO. Also, a completely new implementation of the CHIANTI software in the Python programming language has been developed and is freely available on the web (ChiantiPy).

We are grateful to individual scientists and funding agencies for their support.
